THE SALE TO BE CONDUCTED BY 
MR. THOMAS E. KIRBY AND HIS ASSISTANTS, OF 
THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, MANAGERS 


NEW YORK CITY 


- 


RESUME OF OWNERSHIP AND CONTENTS 


The items herein catalogued are from various sources, and include the 
library of the late James Bucuanan Brapy (widely known as “Diamond 
Jim” Brady), a series of COLORED SPORTING PRINTS from the collection of 
REGINALD, W. Rivzs, the well-known horseman of Santa Barbara, California, 
and other consignments of note from this country and abroad. The Asso- 
ciation is not at liberty to disclose the names of all the consignors, but if 
it should be that any prospective purchaser is interested in the ownership of 
any item, such information as is permissible, will be given on inquiry being 
made. 

Each item catalogued will be sold under the Association’s usual and 
invariable conditions of an unrestricted and unprotected public sale. 

The books, drawings and prints herein described are nearly all in the 
finest possible condition, several of the more noteworthy items being in 
COLLECTOR'S STATE; while the greater part are in SUMPTUOUS BINDINGS, 
richly decorated in gilt, including fine examples of inlaid and onlaid work- 
manship, and specimens of the work of such noted binders as, ZAEHNSDORF, 
RIVIERE, MORRELL, STIKEMAN, LARKINS, SANGORSKI AND SUTCLIFFE, THE CLUB 
BINDERY, ALFRED MATTHEWS, BROCA, MANSELL, ROOT, DAVID, BOZERIAN JEUNE, 
BEDFORD, AND OTHERS. 

Among the Library sets of Esteemed authors, are many of the finely 
printed editions of the RivErsipE Press (Houghton, Mifflin & Co.), Scrrs- 
NER’S Sons, and other noted publishers; the greater part being bound in full 
or half levant morocco, some with elaborate tooling and inlaid work, while 
several are EXTENSIVELY EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED, three of the sets being of especial 
interest, as having BEAUTIFUL AND EXQUISITE WATER-COLOR DRAWINGS through- 
out the text. 

In the field of CoLOR PRINTING, always one of great interest to the col- 
lector, the catalogue is well represented by some of the more important works 
of Henry ALKEN; as well as by a series of books on SPORT AND COSTUMES OF 
ALL AGES AND COUNTRIES, which we believe comprises one of the most ex- 
tensive and valuable collections offered at one time at public sale in America. 

The remarkable series of ORIGINAL DRAWINGS BY THOMAS ROWLANDSON 
constitute an important feature of this catalogue; while the noteworthy collec- 
tion of ORIGINAL PAINTINGS BY JOHN LxexEcu, formerly the property of the 
artist's daughter, includes some of the more important works of this artist, 
and is one of great value and interest. 

Cottectors oF Frrst Eprrions will find herein many noteworthy items, 
including some of the more important works by Charles Dickens, George 
Cruikshank, William Harrison Ainsworth, Matthew Arnold, Joseph R. Drake, 
John Dryden, R. L. Stevenson, R. S. Surtees, W. M. Thackeray, and others. 


Of unusual ASSOCIATION INTEREST are the knife, fork and spoon CARRIED, 
By NaApoLEon I. THROUGHOUT ALL HIS MILITARY CAMPAIGNS; also the ORI- 
GINAL SIGNED MANUSCRIPT AGREEMENT BETWEEN CHARLES DICKENS AND 
Witt1am Henry W1r11Is, relating to the publication of “All the Year Round.” 

Other items of interest will be found among the various works on Art 
and French Literature. :

ever, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges 
of the parties engaged for such service. 

6. Storage of any purchase shall be at the sole risk of the purchaser. ‘Title 
passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and thereafter, while the Asso- 
ciation will exercise due caution in caring for and delivering such purchase, it 
will not hold itself responsible if such purchase be lost, stolen, damaged or 
destroyed. 

Storage charges will be made upon all purchases not removed within ten days 
from the date of the sale thereof. 

7. Guarantee is not made either by the owner or the Association of the cor- 
rectness of the description, genuineness or authenticity of any lot, and no sale will 
be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing, or any imper- 
fection not noted. Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its 
sale, after which it is sold “as is” and without recourse. 

The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly, and will 
give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any 
lot has been incorrectly catalogued, and, in its judgment, may either sell the 
lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert who thereby 
would become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion with- 
out proper foundation. 

SPECIAL NOTICE. 

Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible parties on orders trans- 
mitted to it by mail, telegraph or telephone, will be faithfully attended to without 
charge or commission. Any purchase so made will be subject to the above Condi- 
tions of Sale, which cannot in any manner be modified. The Association, however, 
in the event of making a purchase of a lot consisting of one or more books for a 
purchaser who has not, through himself or his agent, been present at the exhibition 
or sale, will permit such lot to be returned within ten days from the date of sale, 
and the purchase money will be returned, if the lot in any material manner differs 
from its catalogue description. 

Orders for execution by the Association should be written and given with 
such plainness as to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot 
number be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much 
for the lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects 
of art, the bid per volume or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting 
the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit should be sent or reference 
submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. 

Priced copies of the catalogue of any sale, or any session thereof, will be 
furnished by the Association at a reasonable charge.

This work, a sequel to “Egan’s Life in London,” is one of the most 
spirited productions of its kind. The colored plates are full of dash, and

the costumes of the times. Some of the plates contain portraits, three 
of them having portraits of George IVth, illustrative of his visit to

same size as the original, can in no way compare with the first edition. 

The plates include,—Hunting, Hawking, Angling, Shooting, Bullbaiting, 
Cocking, and other sports, some of which are obsolete.

No mention is made of it in the bibliography of Alken founded on the 
extensive researches made by the late L. H. Chubbuck, nor was it in- 
cluded in the William C. Dulles collection. 

It is doubtful if Alken ever conceived a more attractive series of 
sporting scenes than the above, depicting as they do many forms of 
sport—riding, driving, fox-hunting, etc.

9 of the wrappers, which have been supplied with plain paper, at a 
later date), IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS EVER BEEN SOLD AT PUBLIC SALE 
IN THIS COUNTRY, AND, WE THINK, IN THE WORLD. WE ARE NOT AWARE 


THAT A COMPLETE SET IN ORIGINAL NUMBERS HAS EVER BEEN SOLD AT AUCTION | 


IN ENGLAND. 

One of the finest Sporting periodicals of the day, containing an exten- 
sive series of colored aquatint engravings depicting Racing, Hunting, 
Fishing, Pugilism, Cock-Fighting and other events of the English sporting 
world, including many plates which have become scarce, the colored 
plates after Alken, of Race-Horses being extremely interesting. 

With the beginning of 1828, the popularity of the “Annals” began to 
wane, and it was decided to discontinue their publication with the June 
number. The sale however of the May number was so small, that few 
copies of the June number were circulated, with the result that not many 
sets include the later number. 

Numbers 2, 3, 4, 12, 48, 50, 52, 53, 54, are minus the original wrappers, 
which have been supplied with brown wrappers, at a later date, and the 
upper corners of several of the front wrappers of other parts have been 
cut away, but apart from these slight defects the set is A REMARKABLY FINE 
AND COMPLETE COPY, WITH THE TITLES, ENGRAVED TITLES, HALF TITLES, 
SLIPS OF “‘DIRECTIONS TO THE BINDER FOR PLACING THE PLATES” (ALL OF 
WHICH ARE EXCESSIVELY RARE, BUT FEW SETS CONTAINING THEM), ADVER- 
TISEMENTS AND TURF REGISTERS.

The above copy apparently belonged to T. P. Cooke, the English actor, 
and bears his small label on one page. He has written thereon the fol- 
lowing,—“‘‘T think the 1st plate is by George Cruikshank, as Reid suggests. 
I could not see George to show it to him.”

FINE COPY OF THE First EDITION, WITH THE “POINTS”? REQUIRED BY THE 
ADVANCED COLLECTOR, namely, the half-title. and the very rare leaf “7'o 
the Binder,” the latter missing in most copies. 

In none of the books illustrated by the versatile Cruikshank are the 
plates more faithful to real life than in the above work, a really extraor- 
dinary fact when it is taken into consideration that the whole of his 
French experience was one crowded day spent at Boulogne.

another is dated 1829.

CHARLES DICKENS 
Autograph Agreement with W. H. Wills. 
[No. 183] 


First Session, Monday Evening, December 3rd 


{ No. 183—Continued | 

reciting the covenant originally entered into, in 1859, by the two first- 
named partners and further announcing the retirement of Mr. Wills’s 
active participation in the management of the paper, Mr. Charles Dickens 
the younger taking his place; the emoluments arising from the proprietor- 
ship to be thenceforth divided between the three partners, Charles Dickens 
the elder to receive six-eighths and the other two to receive one-eighth 
each. Other alterations in the management are specified. Thirteen 
clauses. : 

SIGNED AND SEALED BY ALL THREE, in the presence of Frederic Ouvry, 
Solicitor. 

Seven pp. folio, with docket on p. 8. 

These documents are of very singular biographical interest as con- 
nected with the great novelist; showing his shrewd business habits in 
the conditions of the two agreements. 

The first periodical was the outcome of a breach of business relations 
with “Bradbury and Evans,” who had refused to allow a statement re- 
specting the author’s disagreement with, and separation from his wife 
to appear in “Household Words,” a weekly publication of theirs, of which 
he was the Editor, and to which he also largely contributed. 

Dickens severed this connection, setting up “All the Year Round” in 
rivalry and obtained an injunction against the publishers’ continuation of 
the magazine under its original title. 

THE LATER AGREEMENT DERIVES AN ADDITIONAL INTEREST FROM THE 
PROBABILITY OF ITS BEING THE LAST IMPORTANT ACT IN DICKENS’ LIFE. SIx 
WEEKS AFTER HIS SIGNATURE WAS APPENDED THERETO, HE WAS LAID IN HIS 
LAST RESTING PLACE IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY. 

The opportunity to obtain either of the deeds would be a happy one. 
To obtain both is a circumstance of most uncommon good occurrence.

190. DickrenstaNA. English Notes, intended for very Extensive Circula- 
tion: By “Quarles Quickens, Esq.” Small folio, brown paper wrap- 
pers. - pp.16. Boston: Published at the Daily Mail Office, 1842 


THIS RARE AMERICAN PUBLICATION is a Skit, as the title implies, on 
pie “American Notes for General Circulation,” published in London, 

“Not one of Dickens’s books was the subject of so much adverse 
criticism as the book he wrote after his first return from America in 
1842.”—EcKEL. 

“This work, composed chiefly since my return . . . I dedicate to those 
friends of mine in England, who, giving me a welcome I shall never 
forget . . . and who, loving their country very much as a Jew loves 
pork, can bear, nay, even take delight in whatever of abuse and de- 
traction it may give me pleasure to indulge in respecting it.”—-ExcERPT 
FROM DEDICATION OF “ENGLISH NOTES.” 

The authorship of this work is somewhat in doubt. Dr. C. Alphonso 
Smith, the Poe lecturer and professor in the University of Virginia, 
regards the case made out in favor of Poe, as a strong one. Miss Mary 
E. Phillips, in her ‘‘Life of Poe,’ refers to the work as a rare Poe item. 
As the work, however, is antagonistic to Dickens, it is possible that the 
unknown author was Samuel Kettell, the author of “Specimens of Amer- 
ican Poetry,’ who also wrote a parody on the dinner given to Dickens 
at Boston, entitled,—‘Quozziana; or, Letters from Great Goslington, 
Mass.,” published at Boston, in 1842, the same year as the present 
publication. 

For the benefit of bibliographers and others interested in the above 
work, we are reproducing the title-page.

First EpItIoN, AND VERY RARE IN ORIGINAL PRINTED BOARDS. Contains 
the 16 pages of Advertisements, called for by Douglas. 

A footnote at page 9 commences,—‘Second Edition.” Copies bearing 
this footnote were attributed by Albert M. Cohn, the author of the “Bib- 
liography of George Cruikshank,” as the “First Spurious Issue.” ‘The 
Association has recently received from Mr. Cohn a letter in which he 
clearly defines his views on the subject. It reads in part: “. . . J am 
afraid, in reference to your query re HGAn’s LirE IN LONDON, that the 
use of the word ‘spurious’ in my bibliography was rather unfortunate. 
Several correspondents have written me, seeming to think that the 
edition with the foot-note was some sort of unauthorized or false edition. 
This of course is not the case. The correct way to describe it is,—SECOND 
ISSUE OF THE First Epitrion.’ “J agree with you that the footnote often 
occurs in the parts, but an issue in parts is NoT necessarily always @ FIRST 
issue. What I think really happened was this :—An insufficient number of 
copies of PART ONE was printed, owing to the enormous success of the book, 
and it ran out of print. Upon reprinting the footnote was added, the 
words ‘SECOND EDITION’ may be taken as referring to the second edition 
OF PART ONE ONLY, NOT OF THE WHOLE BOOK, but @ true FIRST ISSUE Of the 
work should be without the note.” 


209. [Eaan (Prerce).| Real Life in London; or, The Rambles and Ad-

EMERSON (portion of a manuscript, not complete), including: “. . . In 
Germany there is one speech for the learned & another for the masses. 
; No sentiment or phrase from the works of any great German 
writer is ever heard among the lower classes. But in England, the lan- 
guage of the noble is the language of the poor. In Parliament, in 
Pulpits, in Theatres, when the speakers rise to thought and passion, the 
language becomes idiomatic,” ete. 

The following extracts are from the “Introduction” to the Journals. 
“.C.~SCothe «extracts from the early journals are not chosen for their 
merit alone: they show the soil out of which Emerson grew... . These 
journals are reflections, sometimes dim, sometimes clear, of the inner 
life as stirred by the outer. . . . The journals show that, however bravely 
Mr. Emerson stood against the tide which then looked so strong, it seemed 
at the time as if he might be outlawed as speaker and writer.” Ete.

mented with monograms and coats-of-arms, and all have the original

CONSIDERED BY MANY LOVERS OF LEECH TO BE HIS MASTERPIECE. IT 
FORMS THE FRONTISPIECE OF WHAT IS PERHAPS HIS MOST CELEBRATED ILLUS- 
TRATED WORK,—GILBERT A. A’BECKETT’S “Comic HISTORY OF ENGLAND,” 
1847-1848. 

“Caesar, who might have been so called from his readiness to seize 
upon everything, now turned his eyes and directed his arms upon 
Britain. According to some he was tempted by the expectation of finding 
pearls, which he hoped to get out of the oysters, and he therefore 
broke in upon the natives with considerable energy. Whatever may 
have been Caesar’s motives the fact is pretty well ascertained, that 
at about ten o’clock one fine morning in August—some say a quarter 
past—he reached the British coast with 12,000 infantry, packed in

eighty vessels. He had left behind him the whole of his cavalry— 
the Roman horse-marines—who were detained by contrary winds on 
the other side of the sea. . . . At about three in the afternoon, Caesar 
having taken an early dinner, began to disembark his forces at a spot 
called to this day the Sandwich Flats, from the people having been 
such flats as to allow the enemy to effect a landing. While the Roman 
soldiers were standing shilly-shallying at the side of their vessels, a 
standard bearer . . . jumped into the water, which was nearly up to 
his knees, and addressing a claptrap to his comrades as he stood in 
the sea, completely turned the tide in Caesar’s favour. After a severe 
shindy on the shingles, the Britons withdrew.”—DHPxcrerpt From A’BECK- 
ETT’S “Comic History of England.” First EpIrion. 

The above, and the 11 following paintings by John Leech comprise, 
what is without doubt, the most important small collection of Leech 
originals that have been offered for sale at auction in this country. 
Every specimen is important, some extremely ‘so. A number of col- 
lections of Leech originals in pencil, and occasionally water color have 
previously been sold, but few of these however, can in any way, com- 
pare with the specimens here offered. THEY WERE ALL FORMERLY THE 
PROPERTY OF THE ARTIST’S DAUGHTER. 

W. P. Frith in his work: “John Leech: His Life and Work,” gives a 
very interesting account of his first meeting with Leech, and his work 
as a painter, of which the following extracts are presented,— 

“My own admiration for Leech’s genius, so constantly roused by his 
works, with which I was familiar, created a great desire for his ac- 
quaintance; but being perfectly unknown at that time as an artist, and 
knowing none of Leech’s friends, IT began to despair of the realization 
of my wishes, when accident helped me. 

“A Scottish painter—a Highlander and fierce Jacobite—named Mclan, 
who was also an actor and friend of Macready, to whose theatrical com- 
pany he was attached, lived with his wife, an accomplished artist, some- 
where in the neighborhood of Gordon Square. Calling one morning 
to see Mrs. Mclan, I found her in her studio, not, as usual, hard at 
work at her own easel, but superintending the labours of a pupil, who 
was hard at work at another; and the pupil, a tall, slim, and remark- 
ably handsome young man, was John Leech. 

“T made some remark about the different method in which he was 
employed to that with which he was familiar. I forget what he was 
copying—some still life, I think. 

“T like painting much better than what I have to grind at day after 
day, if I could only do it, said Leech; but it’s so confoundedly difficult. 
you know, and requires such a lot of patience.”

“Tt is the common characteristic of a moving spectacle to strike every 
ohne motionless; and the guards of Appius when ordered to seize Vir- 
ginius, found themselves fixed to the spot by so many stirring incidents. 
In vain did Appius call upon his clients and his lictors to do their 
duty. Among all his numerous attendants there was not a sole but 
shook in its shoe, while the tyrant trembled from head to foot with

bootless anger. Urged at length by the commands of Appius, the of- 
ficers attempted to clear the spot, when a severe scuffle ensued, and the 
authorities were assailed with all sorts of missiles. The marketplace 
supplied abundance of ammunition. Ducks and geese flew in all direc- 
tions. Some of the lictors found calves’ heads suddenly lighting on their 
shoulders. Others, who were treated, or rather maltreated, with oysters, 
suffered severely from an incessant discharge of shells, and many re- 
ceived the entire contents of a Roman feast, ab ovo usque ad malum,— 
from the assault and battery of the egg, to the malum in se of a well- 
aimed apple.”—ExcrrpT FRoM A’BECKETT’S “Comic History oF ROME.”

A BEAUTIFULLY EXECUTED AND IMPORTANT PAINTING. 

The scene is laid in the dining room of an English family. “Bottles” 
the butler, having entered the room with a tray on which are a decanter 
and glasses, is suddenly accosted by the “young hopeful’ of the family, 
who with a handful of table knives throws 2 into the door, in front of 
which stands the startled “Bottles.”’ The boy’s elder and younger sisters 
are standing nearby, while the terrier runs in with a bark.

THE SCENE IS THOROUGHLY CHARACTERISTIC OF LEECH, AND IS FINELY

A prosperous looking country man, accompanied by his two daughters, 
both of whom wear the “mushroom” hats of the period, are enjoying the 
bracing air; standing with his back to the sea is a dandy, one hand in 

- his pocket, handle of cane in mouth, admiring the girls as they pass; 
other figures are enjoying the air, including an elderly and prosperous 
looking man, wife and child, the draft from the door having blown the 
child’s umbrella inside out; a mother and her two children, and 2 other 
figures.

“That White’s ‘Selborne’ is the only work on natural history which has 
attained the rank of an English classic is admitted by general acclama- 
tion, as well as by competent critics, and numerous have been the at- 
tempts to discover the secret of its ever-growing reputation. Secarcely 
two of them agree, and no explanation whatever offered of the charm 
which invests it can be accepted as in itself satisfactory. If we grant 
what is partially true, and that it was the first book of its kind to 
appear in this country [England] and therefore had no rivals to 
encounter before its reputation was established, we find that alone 


insufficient to account for the way in which it is still welcomed by 


thousands of readers, to many of whom—and this especially applies to 
its American admirers—scarcely a plant or an animal mentioned in it is 
familiar, or even known but by name. White was a prince among ob- 
servers, nearly always observing the right thing in the right way, and 
placing before us in a few words the living being he observed. Of the 
hundreds of statements recorded by White, the number which are 
undoubtedly mistaken may be counted almost on the fingers of one hand.”
